Eldest daughter

Chapter 279
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, it was the day for Wang Chuner and his family to warm the pot. Wang Yuaner and the others went over to help before dawn.

Wang Chun'er's house was no more lively than Wang Yuan'er's for entertaining guests. Firstly, their family was not big, and secondly, Hou Biao had no relatives. Wang Chuner himself didn't have many contacts, so the people he invited were his relatives, and some acquaintances from the neighborhood. As for the important people, there are no others except Cui Yuan and the people in the yamen.

Even though it was like this, it was a lively day, and Wang Chuner and his wife didn't feel any sadness or harm. In their eyes, relatives came to show face.

After a busy day at her own house, Chun'er's house was also busy for a whole day. Wang Yuan'er was not tired from the two consecutive banquets. After returning home, she rested for a whole day before coming back refreshed.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Wang Yuaner registered the gifts received during the banquet one by one, organized them and put them in the small treasury.

This is what she heard from Chen Shu. She heard that those big families were doing this. If they were registered in the register, they could give and return gifts according to the book in the future, and it would also prevent them from sending gifts back again.

Now that I have my own home and a large place, it is not a problem to set up a small warehouse. It is set up separately, and it will be convenient for future inspections.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, grandpa and his family set off to return to Shilong Town. Wang Yuaner and the others were very reluctant to part with each other, but they also knew that they could not live long, and there were always people at home in Shilong Town.

Wang Yuan'er picked some nutritious medicinal materials, cloth and so on from the gifts he received to bring back to his grandpa and the others, but he was naturally rejected, and finally accepted it.

Somehow the second aunt found out about this, and she put some eye drops in front of grandma and grandpa, saying that she was partial to her grandparents and not her grandparents.

Wang Yuan'er was fine, the things belonged to her, and she could give them to whomever she wanted, but Wang Qing'er was so angry that she almost wanted to go to Zhang's argument. In other words, she said: "Second Aunt is full of food, so she won't find it for us for a day. If you’re not happy, you can’t eat and poop.”

Mrs. Zhang took the eye drops, but it didn't have much effect. Mrs. Wang might feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.

When Wang Yuaner heard about it, she was very happy. She dug out a box of Korean ginseng and gave it to grandpa and grandma.

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth angrily, but there was nothing she could do.

The days passed by in a flash, and on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the servant Cui Yuan ordered to find for Wang Zhai finally arrived.

It's also a coincidence that this family is also surnamed Wang, yes, Cui Yuan found a whole house for Wang Yuan'er, a family of five.

The owner of the family is Wang Fucai, who is about forty years old. Wang Fucai's wife is surnamed Lin, known as Aunt Cai. She is about the same age as the man in her family. The couple have two daughters and a son under their knees. , 15 years old, and the third son Wang Baosheng, 12 years old.

"Get up." Wang Yuan'er smiled and raised her hand, looking at the family of five standing side by side.

The whole family was dressed like ordinary peasants, and they were very clean. The couple seemed to be quite honest people, but Wang Yuaner knew from Cui Yuan that this family was fished out of official slaves. .

When Wang Fucai and his wife were young, they were the servants of Liu Jin, the former censor. When the late emperor was in power in his early years, there was a favorite concubine named Concubine Li. Because he believed in Concubine Li, he wanted to spend huge sums of money to build a golden pagoda to make alchemy in order to live forever.At that time, there were large-scale floods in various provinces. Liu Jin joined forces with the left and right censors to remonstrate with death, scolded the first emperor for listening to the words of the demon concubine, spent huge sums of money in the disaster year, treated the people like ants, and pretended to be a ruler, which aroused the anger of the first emperor, and ordered Liu Jin to despise the monarch and his ministers. Because of the crime, Liu Jin crashed to death in front of the hall on the spot.

After Liu Jin died, the first emperor did not let his family servants go, and decreed that all of them should be filled with official slaves. Later, some people learned that they wrote a blood letter from all the people, demanding that the demon concubine be killed and the construction of the golden pagoda forbidden.

The people's sentiments were turbulent. At that time, the first emperor still insisted on his own way. Later, the people's sentiments became more and more angry. The late emperor had a dragon dream, dreaming that the ancestors pointed at his nose and cursed to destroy the Xia family, and asked him to abdicate. Frightened into a cold sweat, he found the queen, gave concubine Li a white silk, gave up building the golden pagoda, pardoned Liu Jin's family, and made great efforts to relieve the disaster. Only then did he secure his seat again.

Liu Jin's family was pardoned, but most of the servants still became official slaves, such as Wang Fucai and the others.

As for Cui Yuan, he fished out Wang Fucai's family, got rid of his humble status as official slaves for generations, and signed a new death contract.

According to Cui Yuan's intention, Wang Fucai's family finally got rid of their low status as official slaves, and the family reunion will be more cherished and sincere.Moreover, before their family reunion, they were all assigned to the nobles of various families, so they would know clearly about the twists and turns of the family, which would also be helpful to Wang Yuaner.

With such a family supporting Wang Yuan'er, she will grow up quickly, and her horizons and cognition will be broader than before.

To be honest, Cui Yuan has put in good intentions, he is paving the way for Wang Yuaner to go in the future.

After listening to their introductions about what they had done and where they had worked as errands, led by Wang Fucai, the whole family knelt down and said respectfully, "I beg the master to give you a name."

Wang Yuan'er didn't know this, so he looked away at Cui Yuan.

"It stands to reason that after this servant is bought, the master will change his name again, you can change it as you see." Cui Yuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Wang Yuan'er turned her head and thought for a while, her eyes fell on the three youngest ones, and she said: "Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai, let's just call them that. As for Baojuan and you..." She paused, and said, "My younger brother's name is Baolai. So you can't use this precious word anymore, I think..."

She rubbed her finger and index finger, thought for a while, and said: "Use the word Su, Sujuan, Suli, Susheng."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Cui Yuan again, asking what he meant with her eyes.

Cui Yuan's eyes were full of smiles, and he gave a thumbs up secretly, Wang Yuan'er heaved a sigh of relief.

Sujuan and the others immediately bowed down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Miss, for giving me your name."

Wang Yuan'er coughed and looked at the people, suddenly didn't know what to say.

In her previous life, when she married into Landlord Li's family, she also had servants, but those servants were all cunning, and they didn't like her. They even said behind her back that she was incompetent, that she had low self-esteem, and there was no one around her to teach her. I don't know how to control a servant.

Therefore, Wang Yuaner was at a loss at this time.

Seeing this, Cui Yuan put down his teacup and glanced at Chen Shu. Chen Shu nodded and took a step forward.

"Wang Caifu, you should have been officials and slaves for generations. Your family used to be scattered in various prefectures. Now the family is reunited, all thanks to Miss Wang. No matter who gets you out, let you get rid of your low status. There is no Miss Wang. , you still don’t know what you are doing in which house.” Chen Shu looked at Wang Caifu and the others, and said calmly: “To be a human being, you must be grateful and cherish your blessings, and recognize who is your master in front of you.”

Wang Caifu knelt down: "Your servant knows that the servant's family will definitely serve the eldest girl with all their heart and soul in the future, and will be loyal to her. If she violates it, there will be a thunderbolt."

Wang Yuaner frowned, and wanted to say something, but Cui Yuan gave her a wink and told her to hold back.

Chen Shu continued: "Miss is kind and gentle, you are sincere, and you will not treat you badly. If you have the heart to betray the master, it is not difficult to re-enter the official slave office and be kicked around. .”

Wang Caifu's face was slightly pale, and he knelt and trembled: "I dare not."

Chen Shu nodded and retreated behind Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan then looked at Wang Yuan'er, signaling that she could speak.

Wang Yuan'er cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Let's all get up and talk, the ground is cold, and knees feel cold after kneeling for a long time."

Wang Caifu was a little hesitant, looked up at her, and saw that she was smiling at the corner of her mouth, which didn't seem to be fake, so he stood up, and together with him, the whole family got up together.

"You have also seen that my Wang family is only this big. There are no elders in the family, and there are only four of us, siblings. I will tell you in detail later. To be honest, the Wang family is not rich. We only earn money by farming and studying. It’s just a few bucks, it’s better than the average family. The Wang family is no better than the mansions you stayed in before, but it’s definitely cleaner and more comfortable than those mansions. When I say this, I have to say something, but I just want to say that my Wang family has a simple population. You serve faithfully, and I will not treat you badly in the future." Wang Yuan'er said with a smile: "I have heard that a mansion is actually divided into two halves, one half belongs to the masters, and the other half belongs to the servants. To put it bluntly, it’s just a partnership, it’s just a distinction between superiority and inferiority. It can also be said that servants and masters are tied together. If the master is well, so are you. The masters are at ease, and you are also at ease as servants. I didn’t With so much experience, I don’t know if I’m right or not?”

Wang Caifu and the others were stunned.

"Being a servant also has a heart and a heart. No matter how rich life is, it's still not as good as a family reunion, isn't it?" Wang Yuan'er looked at Wang Caifu and said.

"What the eldest girl said is so true, I admire you." Wang Caifu clasped his hands together, his voice trembling slightly: "I don't want to get rich, I just want the whole family to live together safely. This slave is willing to follow the eldest girl's family, regardless of rich or poor."

Wang Yuan'er nodded, and said: "Some people in the family are in the shop, and they won't be there for a while. I'll show you later. Go down and rest first. I've prepared two rooms for you in the front yard."

"Thank you, miss."

Knowing the locations of the two houses, Chen Shu took them to settle down, leaving room for Cui Yuan and Wang Yuan'er to talk.

As soon as they left, Wang Yuan'er drank the tea in the cup like a discouraged ball, felt Cui Yuan's gaze, couldn't help but blushed a little, and asked nervously, "Did I just say something wrong?"

"You're right, Chen Shu slapped you, and you gave Tianzao, that's how it should be. But, you are the master, and you should pick up what should be picked up in the future. The way to control people is to give kindness and power together." Cui Yuan said with a smile .

Wang Yuaner hummed.

Cui Yuan touched her face, and said: "Don't panic, they have all worked as errands in our family, know a lot of twists and turns, and will help you a lot. Yuan'er, I look forward to your growth Even better, then you will stand firmly by my side."

Wang Yuaner's heart skipped a beat, she looked him in the eyes and nodded.

Only when she grows better will she stand beside him, for a long time and steadily.
